Death Match Love Comedy, does the exact opposite of usual visual novel, as having a girl fall in love with you could mean your death.
Basically, the premise of the game is that the player is a guy that just got transferred to a new school, and if a girl confesses her love to him, he explodes… and dies. To make matters worse, he falls into some sort of love triangle with two beautiful girls, leaving his fate up in the air.
Unlike other dating simulations, where your goal is to get girls to fall in love with you, in Death Match Love Comedy, you’ll be doing everything you can to avoid just that, as you try to figure out the reason behind the love-fueled explosions.
Additionally, there will be another mysterious phenomenon, such as angels, a friend who has some sort of prediction, weird dreams and whispers, and a strange pink cat-like creature.

Is it fun?...
Will you manage to remove the curse befroe you go BOOM?
Death Match Love Comedy! is a study in opposites. It doesn’t bring in much cash. It’s easy to play. Its look is sometimes very simple. Still, its emotional goal is bigger than anyone thought it would be. A silly idea hides a deep thought about love in all its forms—romantic, friendship, and family—and the pain that changes them all.
Production limitations unfortunately lower the ceiling for DMLC! in a way that makes any recommendation have a blatant caveat, having left me really wishing it had a bit more budget and emphasis placed on its look and sound. Its writing can also be a touch convoluted at times. Not every character is easy to like, and the “main love interests” aren’t...
